I recall that in my speculative model of neurocognition, Hebbian Logic,
http://www.goertzel.org/dynapsyc/2003/HebbianLogic03.htm
I hypothesized a kind of reinforcement learning mechanism operating at
the level of *neuronal cluster* rather than individual neurons. I
called this "semi-local learning." Hypothetically, this newly
discovered glial communication network could play a role of enabling
semi-local learning vaguely similar to what I hypothesized in my paper.
